It’s the moment where Cormega is most vulnerable and sincere that lifts this effort above the elementary rhymes of his peers. Lyrically, The Realness does not disappoint and with the help of Havoc, Alchemist, Ayatollah, Big Ty, Jay Love and Sha Self, Cormega’s sentiments are perfectly matched with a patchwork of esoteric instrumentals that speak as loudly and vividly as Cormega’s introspective lyrics. Again, Kevin’s got the samples covered here: http://kevinnottingham.com/2009/01/01/cormega-the-realness/ [...] [...] The menacing and gritty hood tales Cormega recounted could have come across like recycled street parables, but here Cormega proved that in the right hands such images can take on a new life and trigger an emotional response from jaded listeners.
